first off me mentioning KJR was mostly a joke, it's 710 or he isn't coming back.2nd off IMO Mitch is the best at that station, which isn't saying a whole lot. I wouldn't mind just terminating that station and having 1090 be local all day. Sandmeyer/Churchill/Swartz is probably the best show in town

I think Mitch is one of the few talents on Seattle sports radio. I love his show, I can find Furness and Puckett enjoyable, and I like Sandmeyer. Elise and Jerry sounds like public access, I love Softy's heart but he gets obnoxious fast, and 710 is pretty much unlistenable without Salk.

What's to love about Mitch? The way he tells stories and constantly repeats things is downright nauseating.

When I first Salk when he started I hated his comments and attitude toward Seattle teams. Then I really hated him when PC was hired as Salk basically said PC has been and will be a joke of an NFL head coach. But when PC came in and changed the team and Salk saw he was wrong he kind of changed a little bit and became more analytical. I ended up liking the battle between him and Brock. I was actually sad when he left.

But I'll admit his first thoughts on Seattle fans was spot on. But now our fan base does have a different attitude and has been the most prominent fan base in the country.

Yeah, as I understand it Salk followed a legend. The guy who comes in right after the legend never does well. Whichever bean head replaces Salk though will probably be fine.

I liked Brock and Salk, but I like Brock and Danny too, and I don't think Danny's really done anything to warrant being replaced. I think Wyman, Mike and Salk could work. Or Wyman Mike and Danny. Either way, Jim Moore is a boob and needs to go away.

Mike Salk is returning to 710 ESPN Seattle as the station's program director and an on-air host, Bonneville Seattle announced Thursday.

Salk – who helped launch 710 ESPN Seattle in April 2009 and co-hosted "Brock and Salk" with Brock Huard for four years – will take over the station's programming duties beginning later this month. Additionally, Salk will eventually return to the airwaves in a yet-to-be-determined time slot and will have a presence on 710Sports.com.

Was just going to say this. He's grown on me somewhat, but that part can be grating at times. I'd like to hear more of Sando (always a treat when he's a guest), but he's a national figure, so little chance of him settling for a local hosting gig.

The only thing i dont like on 710 is bob and groz. terrible radio. Neither of them does any research or generally has any clue what they are talking about to the point where it's infuriating to think that they actually have jobs getting paid to make crap up and completely screw up the simplest facts and statistics.

So right. I actually like to listen to Brock/Danny and the 3 in the later show (with the exception of the guy that always talks about himself, I forget his name). But the middle show is just awful. Bob and Groz seem out of place. They have an uncomfortable laugh and they have this shctick of trying to make fun of their listeners. That's actually good radio IF you can pull it off. These bozos cannot pull it off so it comes off as fake. And like you said, they don't have much good info.

Moore can be funny, but it grows tiresome after a while. I agree bob and groz way overdo it. They want to be the best show do they nickname it the show of record and Clayton's best appearance of the week thinking it's clever. And it really isn't. And yes they do make fun of their listeners in a really in creative way. Overall not great radio

MorningMitch: Ok, but at times feel like I'm listening to a production meeting on the air. I'm not big into the contests or the Bigger Dance personally.Mike & Mike: Great national show. I actually miss getting The Herd in the morning, but Mike & Mike are consistently solid.Tiki, Brandon & Dana: Actually a very good show I haven't seen mentioned yet.

Mid DayIan & Puckett: Solid. They did a great job with Arena stuff, and they're both Cougs, so I enjoy the bone they throw WSU now & then.Brock & Danny: Good, but not as good as when it was Brock & Salk. Not a big Danny O'Neill guy.Elise & Jerry: MehBob & Groz: Meh. I like Stelton, but Groz has been pretty tough for a while now.Doug Gottlieb: Ok, although his natural area of expertise is NBA & college hoops, which doesn't move the needle for me.Jim Rome: I just don't get it. He reads a lot of weird tweets that I would guess are funny if you get the joke. Don't ever seem to get much in the way of actual sports coverage.

Afternoon/EveningSandy, Church & Schwartz: Great show, ever since Salk left, this might be my favorite show.Softy: Still solid, love the passion. I'm out if he starts talking UW sports though.Wyman, Mike & Moore: Eh. They're ok. Moore is funny, you just have to take him for what he is. He doesn't pretend to be an expert, which is nice.Wassell & Colin: Very solid later night option.Mariners Show w/ Rick Rizzs & Shannon Drayer: Brutally bad. I just can't listen because it's basically nothing but an M's rah fest. Would be nice if they were allowed to be somewhat critical & objective some times.

your opinions mirror mine, Brock and Danny is okay. Church/Sandy/Schwartz is the best in town right now. Wassell and Paisley is also a good show.I'm a Mariners fan and have been dying for some baseball talk. But that show is literally unlistenable, nothing but a bunch of bland players and coaches, and nothing but rah rah. Rizzs is an outstanding commentator but as an analyst he sucks

My top 5 hosts with Salk back is1. Salk 2. Wassell (at night)3. Grey (notice how none of them are from Seattle)4. Sandmeyer (will actually say it how it is)5. Churchill (knows his stuff, especially if you're a baseball fan)

Top 5 worst1. Elise (horrible, knows nothing, has elongated pauses between a phrase, horrible voice and laugh)2.softy, total homer, annoying voice, just cannot stand him.3. Groz, his opinions usually last 1 word. He either says agree or disagree. Contributes nothing4. Brewer. Worst voice of anyone, has no personality on the radio, even though he tries to5. Danny, love him as a writer. But his cackling gets on my nerves, tries too hard. Should stick to writing

I actually like Salk most of the time but his baseball knowledge isn't as great as he thinks it is. This guy couldn't wait for Felix Hernandez to be traded (or picked up via FA) to the yanks or boston, in fact he predicted that would happen.

Got to give he guy credit though as he was driving the Russel Wilson bandwagon.
